Spent 4 days in Assiniboine. Heavy winds in the alpine every day, with storms bringing 20cms overnight on the 3rd, another 10-15cm dropping the day of the 4th. Most things have slide, but watched size 2 come off the east face Naiset peak on the 3rd of January. Skied mellow trees around the Bryant creek shelter on the 2nd, found crust above tree level, and powder in the trees Skied trees below Naiset peak down to lake Magog and from the nib in stormy conditions, found 5-10cm of snow onto of hard crust in open trees and powder in dense trees.
